Melanie Gideon, bestselling author of The Slippery Year and Wife 22, joins Zibby to talk about her latest book, Did I Say You Could Go. Melanie shares why she has enjoyed changing genres — moving from young adult to memoir and now to a psychological thriller — and why she thinks more female writers should do the same. The two also discuss the politics of mom friends, how the Varsity Blues college admissions scandal inspired pieces of this story, and what lessons Melanie has learned over the course of her ever-evolving career.Purchase on Amazon or Bookshop.Amazon: https://amzn.to/3xxz8NiBookshop: https://bit.ly/3EdgM6U Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.
